Landmark legal victory could pave way for 7/7 families to sue perpetrators

by David McKittrick, Independent, 9 June 2009


Quote:
A landmark legal victory for relatives of victims of the Omagh bombing could open the way for those bereaved in London's 7/7 attacks to sue the perpetrators for damages, it was claimed yesterday.

The legal breakthrough came when Omagh relatives won a lengthy civil case in Belfast, with a judge ruling that four prominent republicans were liable for the deaths of the 29 people killed in Omagh in 1998.

Mr Justice Morgan awarded more than £1.6m in damages to relatives of those killed.

[…]

[…] London-based solicitor Jason McCue said: "We are going to appeal and this is the sort of case that could get the highest award ever in the UK."

Saying the ruling had set a precedent for other victims of terrorism, he said he was sure those caught up in the July 2005 attacks in London would now seek damages from those who helped plan them: "7/7 want to do an action," he said. "They are going to do it now. They are definitely going to because they've seen the consequences."
